INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH. Investigations conducted for the past year by the Bureauof Industrial Research of the University of Washington havedevelojjcd many new facts concerning the iron smelting situationand have served to summarize the information as to deposits ofiron ore in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and g HW H 154 Manufacturing Opportunities in Washington The results are encouraging toward the establisliing of an ironindustry in tliis region. ^Metallurgical coke is being made fromWashington coals in beehive and by-product ovens. Inasmuchas a large and e-rowincn local market exists for both iron andsteel, the future of the industry in this state looks bright. EXPERIMENT STATION AT UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. In 1916 the United States Bureau of jMines established oneof its mining and metallurgical experiment stations at the Uni-versity of Washington, to work in co-operation with the Collegeof Mines. Six of the Bureaus experts located at the station arenow engaged in studying the particular problems that are ofthe greatest importance to the mining and metallurgical in-dustries in the Northwest and Alaska. In order to expedite thework of investigation the state has provided additional equip-ment for the laboratories of the College. T
